Lyrics
Oh is your wallet empty?
your pockets dry?
don't you know you need some money girl?
unto which, I replied
I already have everything I need, don't you know the things that matter most are free?
But does your house need fixing?
your attitude?
well these bills will makes your troubles run, and all your problems too.
I said, Thank you friend- but I have everything I need. Don't you know the things that matter most are free?
Well I'm not very interested in much that you can buy-
all it does is make you wanna work, until the day we die.
There's so much more we're looking for and I aint gonna lie-
The only thing we truly own is all our precious time.
but is your wallet empty?
your pockets dry?
Don't you know you need some money girl?
and to that man I cried-
I already have everything I need. Don't you know the things that matter most are free?
Well, I'm not very interested in
much that you can buy
all it does is make you wanna work, until the day we die
there's so much more we're looking for and I aint gonna lie- the only thing we truly own is all our precious time.
But does your heart feel empty?
your living too?
don't you know I've got a fixer-all
and all you gotta do-
is tell them- Thank you friends but I have everything I need- don't you know that things that matter most are free?
oh don't you know the things that matter most are free?
Oh don't you know the things that matter most are free?
